I have a PCX file which I would like to download to my LJIIP as a macro
and to stay there. Then I can imbed the appropriate PC commands in my
document to call it up (it's an invoice header and I want to just send
down the invoice details).

I have thought of the following option. Print the PCX file via some Windows
package (Paintbrush) to a PCL file. Edit this PCL file to add macro definition 
commands to the beginning and end of the PCL file. Download to the printer.
This sounds a bit tedious. Does anybody have any easier alternatives to
suggest. Is there a program out there that will automate this?
Thanks
